Chapter 2844 - 91: Deity Rises over the Cloud Sea (2)

After experiencing so much heart-stopping drama, being ranked fifth in the new Heavenly List was no longer enough to give him overwhelming confidence.

He clearly understood— in this Shenxiao Bureau filled with geniuses and various means from all sides, opportunities might only come once!

It was true for him, and also for Chan Fayuan!

No matter the intentions of the demons, thousands of god statues floated on their own in the sea of clouds.

Those waiting still needed to wait, those who had already acted had acted.

The various god sculptures emitted their own divine glory.

As the light illuminated the sea of clouds, a resonance was occurring.

At first, it was murmurous, as if someone was talking to themselves, then rising and falling, sometimes with grief, sometimes with joy, and finally, it gradually converged into... the voices of thousands, tens of thousands, millions, billions of praying believers!

In the shadows, they were gathered by some force, gradually transforming into a single voice of summoning.

It was magnificent and vast, proclaiming—

"Faceless God, appear before us!"

With this voice, the numerous demons present didn’t react much. Nobody cared about any Faceless God; after all, it was only Yu Xin who had mentioned it a few times in that Shenxiao chamber earlier.

In the Mirror World, Jiang Wang silently observing was startled!

He realized he was being targeted.

And instantly, he thought of Tiger Taisui!

It’s known that Tiger Taisui is the Three Evil Tribulation Monarch; it’s known that Tiger Taisui is one of the chess players in this Shenxiao Bureau, and he must have grand ambitions in this game.

Tiger Taisui casually killed Yuan Xiaoqing, killed Yuan Laoxi, and obtained all the relevant clues about the faceless cult, knowing that he, the Faceless God, had entered the Shenxiao World.

Thus, he used his means to find him at this time and eliminate hidden threats!

After the incineration of Master Xingnian, the Shenxiao World was beyond purity, and now none of the chess players could directly intervene in this game. Whose power did Tiger Taisui borrow to use his methods?

Xiong Sansi?

Xiong Sansi and Tiger Taisui were already at odds; it seemed he shouldn’t be helping him anymore.

So among the many demons present, who else is Tiger Taisui’s pawn?

Or was Xiong Sansi merely acting earlier, and he and Tiger Taisui were at odds only to better execute Tiger Taisui’s layout? What he said in the Crane Pavilion’s Question Evil Bureau was obviously true, but after leaving Question Evil Bureau, what he said couldn’t be verified for its truthfulness.

Of course, these issues weren’t the key concern at the moment.

What Jiang Wang needed to consider now was what to do after he was exposed!

Present were Yang Yu, Shujia Lan, Lu Qilang, She Guyu, Zhu Lanruo, Xiong Sansi, six strong new kings ranked on the Heavenly List. Each of their strengths was verified and likely even stronger than their rankings.

He was alone, with just one person and one sword.

As for Chai Asi and Pig Dali, not to mention their lack of strength, if they discovered he, the great ancient god and supreme Daozhu, was of the human race, they might end up slashing him more joyfully than anyone else.

At this moment, the Dream Order in his sea of consciousness was shifting unpredictably, as all the routes since entering the Shenxiao World rolled in it.

Jiang Wang, grasping Longing, was now ready for a great escape.

The Shenxiao World is vast!

If he runs fast enough, it won’t be a six-on-one.

If he runs well enough, it will be like having six separate duels in six different places at six different times.

If he escapes at his peak state, he might not even need to fight, simply disappearing without a trace, leaving them to eat his dust.

The entire Sea of Ten Thousand Gods was summoning one spirit god.

Such a tremendous divine power couldn’t be resisted by even a small Furry God, no matter where He hid.

Tiger Taisui using the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods to capture a small Furry God was akin to using unparalleled divine skills to swat a fly, seemingly wasteful. But as long as it could eliminate hidden threats and ensure the infallibility of his grand plan, it was deemed worthwhile.

"Faceless God, appear before us!"

The grand voice resonated in the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods, echoing throughout the Shenxiao World, pursuing from heaven to earth, leaving nowhere for the deity to hide.

But...

No response.

The countless deities within the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods were mobilized, calling upon another deity but couldn’t summon it. Not even the most basic connection was made.

The numerous demons at the Heaven Demon Dharma Altar were silent, unsure of what the gods in the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods wanted. Or rather, what was the significance of this move by the chess player who made this move?

It couldn’t just be a chorus, right?

In the Mirror World, Jiang Wang stood still.

A false alarm...

Indeed.

What he cultivated wasn’t even the divine way; he hadn’t borrowed the slightest bit of power of faith!

The divine way couldn’t interfere with him at all.

What does summoning the Faceless God have to do with me?

...

Tiger Taisui in Mo Yun City was also silent.

He used his backup plan to prematurely activate the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods for two purposes. One was to deplete the power of the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods in advance, leaving no soldiers for other possible chess players to maneuver when needed. The other was to eliminate hidden threats.

Thinking that the Faceless Furry God was just a bit cunning and good at hiding.

As the lord of Purple Wu Hills, under the Ancient Imperial City, a duke in both name and reality. Within his territory, there was a God Enthronement Platform, and naturally, he could use some special means to detect the flow of power in the God Enthronement Platform— such as enthroning a god he created, then planting a hidden switch in the power of faith, bypassing the cleansing, thus sensing where the power of faith flowed.

He prepared for the Shenxiao Bureau for a long time.

The means used were not simple.

This time, by borrowing the power of the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods, it was essentially mobilizing the authority of the God Enthronement Platform.

The gods of the Monster Realm, even the Evil Gods, couldn’t go unshaken by the God Enthronement Platform.

But they couldn’t manage to capture that Faceless God?

There were only three possibilities— either the Faceless God’s power far exceeded the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods, easily suppressing this summoning; or the Faceless God wasn’t a deity of the Monster Realm, unaffected by the God Enthronement Platform; or the Faceless God didn’t exist at all.

The first possibility was nonexistent, the second one could almost be ignored, so it must be the last possibility.

At that time, after erasing Yuan Laoxi, tracing back its god, it was thought that the Furry God was just cunning, having severed ties with the believers early. Thus, using supreme means, one could glimpse hidden traces and find the main body’s location.

Now, it seems that the Furry God never even connected with the believers!

Then what was the purpose?

Establishing a sect, painstakingly developing followers, not seeking blood sacrifices, asking for offerings, or even receiving the power of faith! Could it really be as the faceless cult claimed, "Do good deeds, never ask about the future"?

Tiger Taisui didn’t find it absurd; he could understand those idealists, just found it tricky.

If the Faceless God wasn’t actually a god, how could they be unveiled?

Who was the non-deity Faceless God that infiltrated the Shenxiao World, and exactly whose pawn were they?

This game of Shenxiao, how difficult to advance or retreat!

...

In the Mirror World, Jiang Wang didn’t yet know he had left a heavenly demon bewildered. Having escaped a life-and-death crisis, he began to focus on tracing Tiger Taisui’s pawn.

If the source of the disaster isn’t eradicated, the disaster won’t end.

Who used the means of this sea of floating gods?

This wasn’t just Jiang Wang’s problem alone.

It was also the question of the many demons present.

After all, no one hoped that in the perilous journey, there was an uncertain factor hiding nearby.

Zhu Lanruo’s eyes sparkled; she possessed the Lan Yin Spinning Fruit divine skill, capable of tracing back from the result to the cause, and should have been the first to find the answer.

But suddenly, an angry roar sounded.

"Uh... ah! Roar, roar, roar!"

Only then did the demons discover that Yuan Mengji, who had retreated to the edge of the mountain platform early on, had already greatly changed his appearance.

In the magnificent backdrop of the sea of clouds and gods, having lost the protective means of Yuan Xianting and wanting nothing but to go home early, he had no sense of presence at all.

Now he let out a mindless roar.

Some things can’t be solved by hiding. Taking a step back doesn’t guarantee peace.

Weakness is the original sin.

Lack of preparation is the path to destruction!

In a moment unnoticed by the demons, he was silently taken over.

His eyes were dyed in the color of divine sculpture gold powder.

In another moment, he bared fangs, his face reddened.

Clothes instantly burst open!

Veins like dragon snakes roamed his body.

The whole body swelled and raised infinitely.

In no time, he transformed into a hundred-zhang tall giant ape, standing at the edge of the cloud platform, indifferently overlooking the demons, closer to a deity than the deities in the sea of clouds behind him!
